ThunderX

ThunderX2 is a family of 64-bit multi-core ARM server microprocessors introduced by Cavium in early 2018 succeeding the original ThunderX line.

Overview

The ThunderX2 was designed to succeed the original ThunderX family. Cavium first announced the ThunderX2 back in May 30 2016 with models based on their own second-generation microarchitecture with models up to 54 cores. Cavium eventually scrapped their own design and in late 2016 they acquired the Vulcan design from Broadcom which has designed a server microprocessor but has given up on the project for reasons not well understood. In early 2018, Cavium announced that their ThunderX2 processors (now based on Vulcan) have reached general availability.
